Almost Perfect

Maddy, Christine, and Amy, friends since college, are thrilled to learn their old suitemate's self-help book, How to Have a Perfect Life, has become a smashing bestseller - until they realize she used them as negative examples of how women let fear mess up their lives. The worst part is…it's sort of true. So, the three friends make a pact: They each have one year to face down their fears - and prove Miss Perfect wrong!

I got the kindle book for FREE, that's right, FREE at Amazon and then the Audible price was only $1.99 with their Whispersync deal! I was really pleasantly surprised with this one! I loved the best friends aspect as much as the romance. The 3 woman make a pact that each will complete a challenge decided upon by the other two. It is something that the person has let fear keep her from doing. I loved the interactions of these ladies woven into the story as a backdrop to the romance that takes place. For only $1.99 total for e-book and audiobook both, I say give it a try! You just might be pleasantly surprised too!

A Girl's Guide to Vampires: The Dark Ones, Book 1

Joy Randall's Top-five tips for vampire hunters: Location, location, location. Vampires won't be caught dead (ha!) in places like discos, 10-minute lube shops, or Switzerland. Remember, if you wouldn't be there, neither would a bloodsucker. Trust your eyes. You know the handsome, annoyingly arrogant, self-assured man in the shadows with long hair and a cleft in his chin? He's your vampire. No matter how tempting it might be, do not "accidentally" acquire a paper cut on your finger and suggest your vampire kiss it to make it better....

It's a VAMPIRE book and the vampire is not even one of two main charaters!

What was most disappointing about Katie MacAlister’s story?

The premise of the series is supposed to be a vampire finding his one true mate. Except that's NOT what happens. It felt like a waste of time and money when you expect to get a vampire romance, and then don't get that!

Have you listened to any of Karen White’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I liked her performance fine.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from A Girl's Guide to Vampires?

If I could play editor, this book wouldn't have gone in this direction at all, or would have been returned to be rewritten.

Any additional comments?

If you name a book A Girl's Guide to Vampires, I expect one of the two main characters to BE a vampire.

Written in Red: A Novel of the Others

As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut - a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg's Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard - a business district operated by the Others. Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job.

I LOVED this book! The world building, well-developed characters, action, and tender moments kept me eager for more. This book grabbed me, made me care about the characters, and just wouldn't let me go. I didn't really want the book to end. I would check to see how much time I had left, and was sad when it started running out. It was THE BEST journey a book has taken me on in at least a year, and I was so happy I got it.

This is definitely worth your money, credits, and time. Take a chance on it! I'm so very glad I did!

Feral Sins: Phoenix Pack, Book 1

Taryn Warner is a wolf shifter with extraordinary healing skills - and serious problems. First, her father is determined that she mate for life with a wolf shifter named Roscoe Weston, whom the feisty Taryn can’t stand. To make matters worse, she’s also been kidnapped by Trey Coleman, a dangerous alpha male from another pack. And as much as she wants to resist Trey, Taryn is incredibly, maddeningly attracted to him.

I LOVED this book! Why? The hilarious coments made by the main character along with an absolutely wonderful narrator! Here's just one of the sarcastic remarks stated : “I’d rather lie under an elephant suffering from diarrhea with my mouth open wide.”

I mean, seriously, with the funny comments expertly delivered by one of the best narrators I've ever listened to, it was one of those books you're hoping lasts and lasts because you enjoy it so much.

I will warn that there are some explicit sex scenes that I fast-forwarded through and thought weren't necessary to the storyline. That's the only reason I gave this 4 stars on story instead of 5. It just got a little too much, too often, and seemed to take away from the rest of the story.

I will definitely be looking for more from both this author and the narrator!
